Life can take surprising turns. One moment, you are doing fine, and then disaster strikes.  This can be devastating. You may lose all hope and feel sorry for yourself.

But it does not have to be this way. Think of the cheeseburger. Many would consider this a fast food meal, something not worthy of attention. And yet, this burger would seem like a taste of heaven to a starving person.

Learn to make the most of your circumstances. Times can be bad, but don't let your grief cloud your judgement. Solutions can be found, and these five suggestions will help guide you to a better understanding of yourself:

1. Do not despair--think calmly and clearly
2. Learn to be grateful for the things you have
3. Understand that life comes in cycles: there will be ups and downs
4. Think positive and be positive
5.  Believe in yourself

 Remember this, and you will not fall into the pit of despair when the cook has his day off. The cheeseburger, once thought of as lowly, will become a trusted friend in your darkest days.
